[Resolved]  Indian Railway — noise pollution

There is Very Very Very Loud Deafening Noise Pollution in Residential areas around near hebbal - kempapura, those working in night shift regularly lose their sleep due to such Deafening Noise Pollution throughout the day, Night shift working people sleep during day time but there is so much of Deafening Banging Noise pollution that sleep is regularly getting disturbed & Our Eardrums are getting Damaged. We Hardly get 4 to 5 hours Sleep due to the Deafening Noise Pollution, Losing Our Sleep We go to Work working entire night. There are quite a lot of people working in night shift here but regularly facing the same problem. I kindly request the residents associations in all these areas here to take a note of this nuisance.

Dear authorities,

I would like to bring to your attention the unbearable noise that trains produce while passing through Hebbal, Bangalore. They constantly and repeatedly blow their horns which clearly surpass the decibel level observed to maintain a good health. This is creating uncalled for stress levels in the community and it's a health hazard.

Would you please instruct the drivers to stop this insanity?

Thank you.

This is to bring to notice to the concerned railway officers, about the noise pollution every train contributes, which is really disgusting and unbearable. Most of The trains are so noisy and on top of it the drivers just honk repeatedly which is unnecessary. Barricades should be put by the side of tracks in the city limits and see that people do not take short cuts on these tracks. If they do so it is at their risk and trains need not bother about that and keep honking, disturbing the lives of many . Instructions should be clear at crossings and at all stations. Passengers should be responsible to follow them. Instead of making the public aware of rules and regulations, railways are just adding to the noise pollution.. All railway drivers should be made aware of the noise pollution they are creating and ask them to move as silently as possible in the city limits and near stations. They should allow the public to follow rules and become responsible... Hope the noise will lessen as soon as possible and allow people to lead a peaceful life...

With due respect and humble submission, I want to make this request regarding the noise pollution made by unnecessary honking and alarm near the residential area of kolkata(Eastern railways-South section-Sealdah). I felt the problem before and now a days I'm feeling it daily, that yes, this is really a big problem for whole day long. My living place is near Motijhil lane(2nd Bridge), Kolkata-700015 and I am employee in a media company. Previously that area was a accident prone zone(2 years ago), but now due to some effective measures the number of accident has fallen to nil.Moreover people has become more sensible.But still they are honking loudly without consideing that anyone is crossing the line or not. This is creating an unnecessary sound pollution withing the residential area leading to disturbance of old & aged people, small kids who are studying at some etc. Moreover as the Sealdah(South) station is nearby and trains also donot ply very fast, then why are they honking so loudly creating an unlivelihood situation.
So, with lots of hope I am leaving this complaint and wishing for the Eastern Railways-Sealdah South section to mitigate this problem asap, so that we can stay calmly at our houses.

We need solution to this noisy problem. Indian Railway causes so much distress all over the country by honking all along its more than 65000 km rail routes. Can we not devise better ways to handle any safety concerns?

It's disturbing throughout the day. Please lower the volume of honking.

It's disturbing all the day. Please lower the volume of honking.

Indian railways is the worst service ever known. You people do not think of health concerns of indians. My house was a bit far from railway track when was a child then you indian railways doubled up lines i.E put another two lines and it's now close to my house. These ### drivers of indian railways blow horn repeatedly which is a serious health hazzard. The number of trains have increased and not to wonder, indian railways looking only for money, the number of goods trains are running more frequently and reason are the industrial companies like vedanta, bhushan who are growing up killing indians with disastrous pollution. To an addition this non sense indian railways producing so much noise pollution which is a health hazzard. Our dearest railway minister of india, please stop doing this insanity and advice your drivers to stop blowing unnecessary horn which is irritating and produces so much noise pollution. Have stayed in many eoropean countries and they absolutely make zero noise with thier trains and accidents are very rare where as in india, the railways slowly kill people staying from long near railway tracks with the noise pollution especially of blowing horn. Tell me is that required to continuously blow horn continuously?? in india railway accident are highest in world rather than any other countries. Railway minister of india stop killing people like this. Request you to advise / make legal rules and all necessary measures and steps to prevent this kind of noise pollution indian railways produce so much noise that even industries don't produce you indian railways you killing people you nonsense.
Mr. Railway minister, please have the dare to sleep in high noise, come to my house and sleep for one night, then you will know how much noise pollution indian railways is making. Request you to please reduce blowing horn that too your horns are a serious health hazzard, which clearly surpass the decibel level observed to maintain good healththis is creative on called for stress levels and a serious health hazard. If we face health hazard the railway minister you also face health hazard, understand. Would you please instruct the train drivers to reduce this going on so frequently and stop this insanity?? indian railways you do not even deserve a thank you because you are so rude. I request you to read this complaint and just do it.
